MashUp:
Comfort in
architecture is given by two words. One is "space." The other is
"light." Narrow or small spaces are not as good. A well-designed
space, particularly a modern library, must also be versatile yet appropriate
for its main use. “Good designs are where it is not dictated to the individual
how they should perceive, operate or feel in the building, but have the
flexibility to explore and experience it for themselves,” says Dr Marialena
Nikolopoulou, from the school of architecture at the university of Kent. Less light, underground spaces,
spaces where you don't see the sky, not as good. Natural light, for
example, can help hospital patients to recover and school pupils perform
better. “Light certainly has a physiological impact on people,” says Dr Alan
Lewis, a lecturer in architecture at Manchester university. Research has
shown that visible light helps the human body to regulate the production of the
hormone melatonin, which in turn helps to regulate our body clock, affecting
sleep patterns and digestion. Visible light also helps to stimulate the body's
production of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which can reduce the symptoms of
depression.” These are the two keys to the future. I am always searching for
more light and space. Wide spaces are what I am using at Ground Zero. I believe
that architects need to deliver hope and optimism. It is part of our duty.
